The Saint John Urban Transportation Initiative wants to get more people riding city buses and one way to do that is to lower the cost.
Project Co-ordinator Sara Stashick tells CHSJ News they want to get the word out to businesses about the opportunity to buy transit passes for their employees in bulk at a discount.
Stashick says this would improve access to public transit for workers who don;t get paid alot but there are only 6 businesses on board thus far but she’s hoping for more once the word gets out.
In order to qualify, businesses need more than 20 employees.
